One of my favorite projects by designer Leanne Ford is this renovation (with her brother Steve Ford) of a sweet country guest cottage. I saved these screenshots from the RESTORED BY THE FORDS episode for future reference and thought you might enjoy them for inspiration. Leanne generously shared the PPG paint colors she used to create the backdrop for this humble, historic, lovely project. Steal Leanne Ford Paint Colors in the Sweetest Country Cottage!

Simple, Nostalgic, and Cool Attic
One of the more recent Leanne sightings was in this tour of her all white home for House Beautiful:
But perhaps my favorite Leanne Ford project (after this stunning cottage!) to date is her collaboration with Crate and Barrel RIGHT HERE. You can now more easily create a modern rustic luxe look for which she is known.
Can we talk about the spiral staircase to the attic!?!
You’ll notice I’m weaving in a few inspirational quotes, and I’m pretty sure the big-hearted, loving soul of a designer, Leanne, would approve.

I love the staircase! The colors are gorgeous in the house, it looks fresh but also true to the style. The absence of curtains and blinds lets in a ton of light through the windows. Very minimalistic but still styled, I love it.

It’s a beauty! Thanks for reading. 🙂
Leanne is my favorite designer and I especially loved the episodes of the sweet cottage and Steve’s warehouse/home. She has an effortless style with the ability to put together amazing vignettes and blend a mix of modern and contemporary with rustic and worn…. and it looks superb!
